NCAA Tournament Bracket Prediction - March 8, 2018

NCAA Tournament Bracket Prediction - March 8, 2018

It was an interesting Wednesday, as teams that really needed a win to help their case did not get them and two teams with compelling resumes (Oklahoma State and Notre Dame) came through with big wins. 

Arizona State holds on by a thread, for now.  Louisville moves in over Syracuse.  I just was looking again, Louisville's resume is not good.  They need to beat Virginia and currently trail by 8.

Nothing is settled starting right around the 7 line through the 11 line.  Today should bring a little clarity.  Maybe?  I hope?  There is probably more shuffling as resumes finish and the final comparisons can be made.
